On most programs, students will carry their own luggage, so it is always recommended to pack light! For short programs, one small suitcase is recommended. For longer programs, we recommend no more than one checked bag and one carry-on. The cost for checking baggage is not included in WorldStrides program price and travelers should be prepared to pay these fees upon check-in for both departing and returning flights. Please also check your airline's website prior to travel for up-to-date information regarding weight and size limits set by the airline. Additionally, all travelers should be aware of the Transportation Security Administration's guidelines for air travel. For more information, please visit the TSA website.
